Opinions on Newt Gingrich

After watching the SC GOP debate last night, I was wondering what OT's opinion on Newt Gingrich is?

From what I can see, there is nothing stunning about him. However, he obviously has supporters after listening to the audience last night. All of this talk on him on the offense to impeach Bill Clinton for having an affair while at the same time he himself was having an affair. No matter how good someone finds his ideas, I could never see myself willing to vote for someone who has these moral traits. He's been married 3 times and that seems to say something about how strongly he commits to his vows.

In all honesty, I am simply tripped up on how much I dislike him as a person.

Well back to the question, what are your thoughts on him and are there any supporters here?

There's a lesson to be learned from Newt. It's better to have no morals like Bill Clinton, than to have morals and then act hypocritcally.

I liked this part in the debate, could only find it in the form of an ad they made today.

I'm either voting Ron Paul or Gary Johnson... If I'm back in the U.S by then anyways.. Hong Kong is so much better.Potent_Buds_420

Man, those potent buds REALLY are fvcking you up, huh? Ever hear of an absentee ballot?

A boorish, self-centered hypocrite.

On his third marriage after the first two ended in affairs.

I don't know if I really like any of them so much. The only one I supported was Herman Cain, and he's long gone.

Newt's a smart guy, but he also has serious issues.

Lol, Ron Paul.

Anyways, I think Newt looked pretty good last night. Out of all the candidates right now, he's the only one I think who could out debate Obama. Whether he's electable or not though remains to be seen. Romney has a better outward appearance that's for sure. And he's done pretty well in all the debates so far. I don't think he can win against Obama though. He's too moderate. And moderates don't win elections.

Unlike the other GOP candidates, there's a sense of condescension that makes him more of an insufferable c*nt. At least the others have a feeling of parody to them.

i think he looks crooked as sh*t. and i don't like his physical appearance either. i don't know about his policies though.

but he SEEMS like he is a person that will get stuff done. whether that stuff is good or bad, i don't know

I think he's an excellent debater. I also think he's the only candidate that could whoop Obama in a debate, but other than that, I don't trust the philandering hypocrite.

Meh Romney is nearly as bad, at least compared to Newts. Born rich, protested the protesters of the war while not even going himself, all while kids his age were dying and he was bathing in money. Bought companies and fired the employees hundreds of times just to make a quick buck, Not only that but his tax rate is only 15%, much lower than the average Americans, and it's not even the fact that it's lower it's the fact that it took so much just to get that information out of him.

and even if you want to ignore all this and make up excuses for it or defend it, it still doesn't explain his flip-flopping. Americans can vote for Romney all the want, even if he does win it's not going to make anything better. The fact is Obama is pretty much guaranteed a win if Romney gets the nomination.

if you actually listened to the debates, its beyond clear that Ron paul owns themmingmao3046

Don't get me wrong, I detest Gingrich, but his debate performances floor the other candidate's, including Paul's. Paul is not a gifted orator and frequently stumbles over his words, even though he gives substantive answers.

I loose a little bit of faith in humanity every time I hear someone say they support Ron Paul. The dude is an extreme isolationist. His foreign policy alone would wreak havoc on this country. Just because he has a few good ideas, doesn't mean you should overlook the rest of his crap.

Also he would get railroaded in a debate with Obama. I never thought Obama was that good of a debater, but his speaking skills and outward swagger are second to none.

Don't like him.

Still better than zippy.

Oh, and he's about as pro corporatist as it gets.
